Inspiration everywhere

Tonight I decided to make a chicken curry with okra from our garden at the office. While I was slicing the okra, I was struck by how beautiful it is. I just loved the elegant geometry between the different sections of the pod. It reminded me a little bit of how quilled paper sculptures look, and it also seemed like an interesting pattern to mimic with a few narrow pieces of felt. I might have to try that as an embellishment on one of my felted sweater purses!
